I'm hoping, I'd sign up right now, but It'll be one of those last minute things that depends on family plans.

Put on some different shoes to find the source of a shimmy.
It's amazing how much tires change the look of an entire truck.
They are still 35's, but only 12.50 wide.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #701 on:** Jun 01, 2006, 07:26:28 PM »

Just trying them on, they're for the Wagoneer.

*** YELLER *** · « **Reply #702 on:** Jun 01, 2006, 08:24:56 PM »

'Cause these just wont fit

35x12.50's hit the fenders bad with 11 inches of lift on a waggy. Me and a buddy found out on his 74. just wanted to let you know. how much lift do you guys have planned for it? BTW, did they fix your shimmy Minisimp?

Dave is test driving Friday morning to find out.

Hyena · « **Reply #705 on:** Jun 01, 2006, 08:59:45 PM »

Ya, we did a spring over conversion with 5 inch springs on the front. did a shackle flip with 5 inch blocks in the back lol. total was right around 11 inches. I see if i can find any pics of it on flat ground, but here is a minor flex shot. You can see we had to cut out the fenders.

I don't want to clog up mini's thread unless he wants the pics in here. ican search around for more. Do you have the quadratrac full time 4wheel drive in it?

MiniSimp · « **Reply #708 on:** Jun 01, 2006, 09:47:01 PM »

Yeah, it's got the quad.
Do you remember what BS/Width wheels was on that?

MiniSimp · « **Reply #710 on:** Jun 01, 2006, 10:09:12 PM »

I see lots of trimming in the future!

MiniSimp · « **Reply #711 on:** Jun 02, 2006, 09:43:18 AM »

With these tires on, there is no death wobble.
All of my shake is from the boggers being out of balance.
Dave, you might lose these tires....

*** YELLER *** · « **Reply #712 on:** Jun 02, 2006, 04:26:18 PM »

Request denied ol' Buddy
It has the Q trac but I am hoping to go w/ a Dana 20

Tried balancing my tires and found out my wheels are all bent.
Surprise, surprise.
The guy I bought them from said they were heavily used on the Rubicon and Fordyce.
So anyway, I'll be buying some new 2" BS Wheels from summit.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #714 on:** Jun 09, 2006, 09:21:33 AM »

Ok, so I just ordered the wheels from Summit. Talked to Johnny at US Wheel ahead of time to make sure they still made reverse wheels.
Talked to "Wheeler" at Summit 1-800-230-3030
US Wheel Part Number: USW88-5860R-SPEC (the "SPEC" being specific backspacing) I told them 2" BS
The wheels will come raw (unpainted) in about 3-4 days.
